The reading undertaken centred around two main areas: firstly, there was the area the relaxation of membership requirements and its ensuing effect on the competition structure within the stock broking industry.

Secondly, but connected to the first area, there was the abolition of minimum commission charges and the resulting competitive climate which followed.

The third significant change which occurred during Big Bang was the amalgamation of the broking and jobbing functions was researched but the author found that the implementation of this dual capacity was working well and there was generally little mentioned on it (compared to the amount written about the other two changes mentioned above) and so this does not form a separate area of this literature review.

I would be gratefully obliged if you could possibly advise me as to whether or not I should register my company at present, I have a new business with an equal partner, we have been trading for approximately 10 months as a cleaning company and currently have a number of domestic customers. The turnover is not substantial at present but we are in the process of applying for tenders to generate additional revenue.

My question is; would a lack of information available publically about the business make any difference to other companies researching mine and would we actually benefit at present from registration? Any advice gratefully received, as this appears to be confusing for me at present.

I recently incorporated a private limited company guaranteed by shares with a formation agent and I need some advice in respect of whether I need to send anymore documents to Companies House or the Revenue.

I am running a single member company of which I am the sole director.

I received some PDF forms in the confirmation email which accompanied the notification of incorporation. Do I need to submit form 88(2)? I haven’t issued anymore shares to other people. I was the initial subscriber of the shares.

The Stock Transfer Form J30 is only used when I as a subscriber sell my shares to other persons, is that correct? I don’t need to complete this now to register my subscription.

What about the forms notifying Companies House of where the Registers are kept, e.g. Register of Charges/Directors/Members etc. Do I need to submit these?

Do I need to let companies house know about the dormant status of the company? If so, how do I go about this? I read on your site that a company is dormant by default but according to the record at Companies House it says that the company is active.

Sorry for all the questions, I don’t want to get fined and I am sure there is something I am meant to do that I haven’t.
